Chashu Tamago Meshi (Braised Pork and Egg Rice)
Hot rice is generously covered with chashu pork coated in a sweet and savory sauce, topped with two creamy, soft-boiled sunny-side-up eggs. When you break the melting yolks and mix them with the sauce, the rich umami clings to the rice, making it impossible to stop your spoon. This is Imabari's signature specialty, Chashu Tamago Meshi. It originally started as a staff meal at the Chinese restaurant 'Gobankaku.' Around 1970, someone tried adding beaten eggs (typically used for fried rice) to the existing dish of rice topped with chashu and sauce, and the result was surprisingly exquisite—it is said that an independent chef then commercialized it. Eventually, its popularity spread among local high school students, and it has now become a representative B-grade gourmet dish of Imabari.
